Usually the workers themselves have had insufficient training for the job they are asked to perform. And always they work in a secularized culture, in the midst of spiritual illiteracy, where the most commonplace terms in the Bible and the most elemental ideas concerning the Kingdom of God sound strange even to otherwise well-educated adults.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can dream it, you can do it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2653]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can dream it, you can do it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1492]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real contest is always between what you've done and what you're capable of doing.

But the things of the soul are far more momentous, and to be asked to deal with huge, unfathomable facts like the Cross in a few minutes, means that people are not really interested in these things. This is, of course, a snippety age, with a snippety press, and snippety novels. But must we preachers follow and be snippety, too?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man's maturity: to have regained the seriousness that he had as a child at play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man's maturity: to have regained the seriousness that he had as a child at play.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there were no elephant in the jungle, the buffalo would be a great animal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23571]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there were no elephant in the jungle, the buffalo would be a great animal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All strangers and beggars are from Zeus, and a gift, though small, is precious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17280]]></link><description><![CDATA[All strangers and beggars are from Zeus, and a gift, though small, is precious.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marry a widdow before she leave mourning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49623]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marry a widdow before she leave mourning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conscience--the only incorruptible thing about us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9824]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conscience--the only incorruptible thing about us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I dote on his very absence. -The Merchant of Venice.
